Total agreement reached as Chelsea,Man United target Haaland makes his move.

Chelsea and Man Utd target Erling Haaland has edged closer to a blockbuster transfer after reaching a ‘total agreement’ with his proposed next club, per a report.

The Norwegian sensation, 20, is one of the most sought after footballers in the European game. Since moving to Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has operated at marginally below a goal every game. In the most recent season, he notched exactly 41 strikes from 41 outings. Unsurprisingly, the heavy hitters took note, but it now appears a Bundesliga exit could happen sooner than many believed.

From an English perspective, Chelsea and Man Utd appeared to be leading the way for his signature.

Man Utd’s immediate need diminished slightly when Edinson Cavani signed on for an additional year. But acquiring Haaland would represent a longer term option and will secure the No.9 spot for a decade wherever he goes.

Chelsea are on the hunt for a clinical centre forward to remedy their attacking issues. Thomas Tuchel has his Blues side purring. But Timo Werner failed to convince in his maiden year in England. That led to Kai Havertz often being deployed as a false nine.

However, according to noted Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla of SportItalia, both sides are set to miss out.

That’s because they report that Real Madrid have reached a ‘total agreement’ with the marksman over personal terms.

Haaland is on board with taking his next step in Spain, but the matter of convincing Dortmund to sell remains in play.
